While earning a Bachelors of Science from Penn State University, he studied strength and conditioning training. He trained with the Penn State Boxing Club – learning fundamentals of movement and nutrition.
As an adult, Mike has developed a love for travelling and of the outdoors. Mike took time off from a busy schedule to backpack across Europe and Africa putting his fitness to the test. From trail running, to surfing, to snowboarding, to hiking, to skydiving, to free repelling down the canyons of the Austrian Alps, Mike has a love and respect for the outdoors.
Mike was introduced to CrossFit by a long-time friend using the fitness program while in the U.S Marines. His first CrossFit workout left him sore for 7 days (not an exaggeration). Mike fell in love with everything that is CrossFit. The intensity, the fitness results, the friendships, and the common love of being healthy and fit.
